Some time ago, I went to the local asian foodcourt, where they had this rather interesting chile paste that I've been looking for ever since. It was very dark red, kinda dry, maybe oil based? All the pastes and purees I've come across in the shops have been a lot wetter, much lighter, and not so hot-looking. Anyone know what this was? I'm thinking it might possibly have been one of the bean-based concoctions, but that just doesn't seem right. jbc
